Courses
AUPED 314 - Exercise Physiology
Study of the physiological response of the human body to acute exercise and to chronic exercise (training). Prerequisite: AUPED 215.
AUPED 317 - Fitness Appraisal and Exercise Prescription
Study of both theoretical and practical skill-sets in the fundamentals of lifestyle appraisal and exercise prescription to assist individuals acquire health and well-being outcomes across all ages. There will be an opportunity to explore the therapeutic use of exercise in other chronic conditions independently. Prerequisites: AUPED 314 or consent of the instructor.
AUPED 343 - Physiological Factors and Principles of Human Performance
Study of the physiological factors and principles of training affecting human performance. The course emphasizes physiological adaptation, specificity, and factors that influence the training process. Prerequisite: AUPED 314.
AUSES 232 - Introduction to Biomechanics
Study of the application of physical laws to movement and structure. Principles of motion, force, and equilibrium are stressed. Various sport skills are examined from a biomechanical perspective. Prerequisite: AUPED 112.
